In an unpublished report, in 2014 a curator of the Morgan library was asked to state an opinion about the costumes in the MS. He stated that this is usually a good indicator, because MS illustrations would represent the actual habits, and not those of more than 20 years in the past (or future
).
He pointed to 1420, but I don't know on which pages this was based.
The wide sleeves also seen with Virgo seem quite characteristic to me, and I remember a blog entry about this a few years ago.
As an avenue of attack, this seems to be as good as any.
